MARKING ALLOCATION:
Explain how the “new style” of WHS laws (as recommended by Lord

comply with these laws? Is it the same for all employers? Discuss with
reference to the features of the new style laws.

using the computer system. Her medical certificate states she is fit for “light
duties only- 6 hours a day, no lifting over 3 kilograms”. What are Joan’s
obligations, what are the employer’s obligations? Detail your next course of
action as the WHS/Injury manager.
